That's a good news :) I'll modify the PPA package to reflect this.

I'm waiting your announce to enable them in the PPA.

Since it's not a trivial package, I prefer to wait an official one from
Debian or Ubuntu to include it in the PPA.
Also, I didn't see the announce on the gnome-devel mailing list. I know
most of packagers monitor this list for new version, but maybe not the
python-devel. It could be good if they forward their announce mail to
the gnome-list :)
